After about a three weeks of writing my low carb and keto posts, I think it's time to share a Keto Diet Plan for those of you interested in learning more about this diet.I don't just want to share diet basics; you need to leave here with a real understanding of how keto works. That's my job, to make this so simple anyone can do it. AlthoughI don't want you to just know how to make keto work, I want you to understand keto inside and out!

œThese past 60 days have changed my life. I found out about it from a friend on Facebook and never looked back¦. It has quickly become my lifestyle and it's definitely one of those fad diets you find everywhere. Aside from weight loss, I've gained a confidence that I never knew I had inside. My relationship with my husband and family has improved exponentially. When my body reached ketosis, my life changed along with my pant size!!! Keto Fit Diet for the win!

This was a great read , Steve, thanks! I'm 19 days in but forever educating myself. Wish I'd been more prepared for the keto flu cos' that hit me HARD! Out the other side now though and hoping to see some improvements in my cycling endurance and less reliance on the gels and goos! I'll also be doing lots of HIIT for some racing that I'll be doing this winter (in the UK) so looking forward to experimenting with that! As a former (and maybe still current) sugar lover, the dessert tips were especially useful. Thanks again!
On the other hand, the types of foods you'll avoid eating on the keto, low-carb diet are likely the same ones you are, or previously were, accustomed to getting lots of your daily calories from before starting this way of eating. This includes items like fruit, processed foods or drinks high in sugar, those made with any grains or white/wheat flour, conventional dairy products, desserts, and many other high-carb foods (especially those that are sources of œempty calories).
You're absolutely gorgeous, and I am looking forward to losing more than 40 lbs. also. I'm on my third week and feel like I hit a wall. I was waking up in the morning feeling my tummy a little flatter, some clothing a bit looser, etc. and now don't feel like that. So, I looked up foods again, and I don't think I was eating enough fat. Thank you for a simple version and grocery list of keto foods. It helps a lot! I hope to visit again soon and report double digit weight loss! Blessings!
Some dairy products can be used in moderation, such as heavy whipping cream and most cheeses. This would depend on your individual sensitivity to dairy (some people digest it better than others) and on the particular type of food. Milk contains a relatively high amount of carbs (4 to 5 g per 100 ml) and should be limited or avoided, as well as store-bought yogurt. You can, however, have unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream. Make sure to check the labels carefully when buying dairy products, as some of them contain a rather high amount of carbs. Some people also find that eliminating dairy helps them to lose weight faster, which might be something you want to consider in case you stall.
2) Now you need to do a little learning before we move any further. Start by learning a bit more about ketosis itself, and the pitfalls you need to watch out for. I love Bodybuilding.com and think that this article on the Keto Diet is perfect for beginners, so go check it out. Unless you are planning to start bodybuilding part, 2 of the article will not apply to you. ðŸ˜‰
In addition to helping with weight loss, the Keto Diet has been used to treat epilepsy, help with Type II diabetes polycystic ovary syndrome , acne , potential improvement in neurological diseases (Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis), certain types of cancer[15], and reduces the risk factors in both respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Emerging studies are digging into its effects on Alzheimer's and other conditions as well.
